CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, June 16, 1978 ed in South Rivers’ Rites of Spring Giving Up Just as warmer weather is bringing green leaves to New York's Central Park and sum- mer clothing to shoppers on Fifth Avenue, so too are the Hudson, Harlem and East Rivers performing their own rites of spring: They are giving up the dead. It happens every year as the waters warm up. The bodies float up from the once- icy depths where they re- mained for the winter. is a pe- the Dead figures in the Manhattan morgue, said toa recent visitor, half in explanation, half de- fensively, “Someone has to do this job, don't they?" Eight bodies had been found floating in the water in the previous 60 hours. As many as five bodies a day have been known to surface this time of year. 4 The difficulties of identi- fying the bodies of the drowned lead to a high percentage being culiar to New York, as least in volume, yet another macabre side toa city well-endowed with the bizarre. In San Francisco, bodies surface right away because the water temperature is more consistent. In Chicago, police patrols prevent many suicides in Lake Michigan. Some bodies surface around Detroit but most are found out-of-town where the swift-flowing Detroit River deposits them. In New York, the bodies or “floaters”. fished from the rivers find their way to detec- tive Jack Hackett. Hackett, glancing across the row of shroud-covered buried in Potter's Fields. Hackett is an expert in identification. He developed a technique to fingerprint the inner skin of drowned victims. When those are not available, as so often is the case this time of year, the skeletal remains are X-rayed in an attempt to recognize healed fractures. The police list known sui- cides and wait for the bodies to surface, A woman computer executive was thought to have jumped off a city bridge six weeks ago after her car was found nearby. Her body was among the eight checked by Detective Hackett. Slocan April wedding rites, con- ducted according to Doukhobor tradition at the home of the bride's parents, united Lana Jane Rilkoff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alec Rilkoff of South Slocan, and Ronald Joseph Zenon Lepage, son of Mr, and Mrs. Guy Lepage of Comox, B.C, Given in marriage by her parents, the bride wore a gown of silk organza over bridal taffeta, with flowing cathedral train. Alecon lace accented the rounded neckline, bishop sleeves and hemline of the dress. Matching lace trimmed her shoulder-length'veil, which misted from a cloche-type head- dress featuring a cluster of tiny roses at the right side of the cap? The bride carried a nose- gay of white silk roses and mint green carnations, from which cascaded white streamers decorated with green rosebuds. For jewelry, she wore a pen- dant of two interlocking gold hearts, set with a single diamond, which had been a gift of her groom. Maid of honor was the bride's sister, Miss Marleen Rilkoff, and bridesmaid was Mrs, Jenica Epp of Kamloops. Both attendants wore gowns of mint green, trimmed with emerald green ribbon and stitching. Matching green rib- bons also decorated their bou- quets. Best man was Mr. Reynold Epp of Kamloops, while usher- ing was Mr. Michael McDonald, also of Kamloops. During the signing of the register, Miss Venie Zarikoff, a cousin of the bride, sang "The Wedding Song”. : The Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel in Castlegar was the setting for the reception, where Mr. Tony Markoff of Maple Ridge was master of cere- monies. Proposing the bridal toast was Mr. John Zarikoff, an uncle of the bride. Prior to leaving for a honeymoon trip to Banff and Calgdry, the bride donned a three-piece ivory suit with navy accessories, and the groom wore a three-piece suit of powder blue. Guests attended from Dublin, Ireland; Saskatchewan, Kamloops, Prince Rupert, Kelowna, Cranbrook, Comox and Vancouver. The young couple are making their new home in Kamloops. s Notice: Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 18 i We fathers have always been known as subtle hinters, so this ad is, needless to say, a subtle hint (clunk!).

G, Duckworth said in an interview the van- dalism problem has escalated about 125 per cent during the past few years, One pair of youths have | caused about $10,000 damage with paint spray bombs during the past year. “They do all sorts of things, like breaking windows, tipping up landscaping, using spray cans, wrecking street lights and knocking over signs,” Duckworth said. Rev. Frank Schmitt of the local Lutheran church thinks, the answer may lie in an old barn two kilometres from city centre, The proposal, currently being considered by council, is to take the barn which the city is purchasing from a private party, and renovate at a cost of $70,000. i “ Much of the work would be volunteer, Schmitt said, and most would be done by. the teenagers themselves, to give gram and we would also expect to use technical-vocational school students for drafting and pre-framing,” he said. Schmitt estimated the volunteer labor would take about $20,000 off an estimated cost of $90,000 for the renova- tions, leaving $70,000 to be collected by grants and fund- raising efforts—a further op- portunity to involve youth. ° He said, the centre would be g by an 18. of nine adults and nine teen- agers—all elected by the teen- agers. “Members would also agree to a code of behavior when they joined—liquor, drugs, coarse language, order- ing (food or drink) from off- premises, and proper attire,” Schmitt said. .

First symptoms of injury are an upward rolling of the leaves and a brown, burnt ap- pearance. Closer inspection re- veals that the leaf has been eaten away, leaving only the veins. The trees most commonly attacked are apples, but flower- ing crabs, crabapples, ash, birch, pear, cherry and thorn -also act as hosts. The insect has four stages in its life cycle with the damaging stage being the lar- vae or caterpillar stage. The larvae are about half-an-inch long, have dark- heads, are yellowish-green in color with dark spots over the body. The pest has three or four genera- tions per year which means that three or four attacks can be expected. Judging from experience and past records it is now the time to expect damage from the first. generation. Controls of Imidan, Sevin, or diazinon at label rates should be directed against the larvae when they are present. Only careful watching will determine the presence of the pest. Sprays should not be applied un'ess the pests are present. 5-Per-Cent Tourism Growth Forecast for '78 Tourism, British Colum- bia’s third largest industry, should grow by five per cent this year over the $1.3 billion it generated in 1977, Tourism B.C. officials’ said last week.

He said the areas in the U.S. with the lowest labor costs and stand- ards of living are the areas with “right-to-work” legislation. Asked in an interview earlier Saturday with the Castlegar News about the pro- vincial government's position on such legislation, Barrett said g wou! consider it “if they thought it was politically popular.” “This government is not bounded by philosophy or principle and is freewheeling around the word expediency,” he said. “If they felt that d ployed at one work place for 15 to 20 years, “Their security of tenure’ becomes immediately threat- ened by RTW legislation,” he said, Barrett described the ICBA members supporting the right-to-work _legislati that’s a misnomer in itself— is something that would be a vehicle to get themselves elected, then they'd go in that direction.” He said RTW legislation would especially threaten the security of workers in their forties or fifties who have been under Social Credit, he said. “They have been very bad. for the economy,” he said. “Just ask any small businessman. “Get him alone, pull the blinds down, close the door and ask him without anybody in earshot ‘Which was the better going to visit Squamish and he was going after he announced that the Railwest plant would close down, He visited Ft, g for you, the NDP or Social Credit?” And as long as no-one can quote them or hear them, they'll say the NDP was better.” B.C.

He said he has no hesita- tion in recommending that pro- perty owners pay only the same tax they paid last year, and no more “unti! we (Conservatives) renegotiate a better deal for them.” : Stephens had called for a taxpayers revolt last Tuesday, citing the provincial govern- ment for shifting an unfair burden onto the municipalities, He said he might even burn his tax notice on the steps of the legislature in order to mark his protest. Bennett said last Wednes- day that local governments and school districts are taking ad- vantage of changes in assess- ment laws to raise taxes. “They are trying to sneak up the tax bill under the con- fusion of equa] assessments,” he said. "That's pretty sneaky.” Stephens said Bennett's accusation was untrue and “a cowardly act.” The Conservative leader said he has received hundreds‘ of telephone calls, telegrams and letters backing his call for tax reform. : ~ He said that since his call for a revolt had received such widespread attention, his original intention of burning his tax form on the steps of the “We don't want to turn it into a comic opera,” he said. “But I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
